CMC Participates CHEDRO XII National Women’s Month Launching Event for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society

The Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC) recently participated in the National Women’s Month launching event hosted by the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office XII (CHEDROXII). The theme of the event was “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society,” with the hashtag #WEcanbeEqual. The event took place on March 16, 2023, at the KCC Mall of Marbel Convention Center.

The event aimed to celebrate the achievements of women worldwide and promote gender equality and empowerment. The event featured keynote speeches and presentations by influential leaders from the academe, including three empowered men and three empowered women.

Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo of the Province of South Cotabato, Dr. Sema G. Dilna, President of Cotabato State University, and Dr. John Thomas C. Franco, Executive Vice President of St. Alexius College, were among the three empowered men who gave inspiring insights on gender equality. Meanwhile, Dr. Marilou E. Albano, VP for Academic Affairs of Holy Trinity College of General Santos City, Dr. Ma. Teresa L. Samonte, Chief Adviser Officer of CHEDROXII, and Ms. Rosalinda C. Veloria, President of King Solomon Institute, were among the three empowered women who shared their experiences and challenges in breaking through glass ceilings across different professions.

Despite the significant progress made towards gender equality in recent years, gender discrimination remains a significant challenge in society today. The Women’s Month Launching event provided an opportunity for individuals to come together and celebrate the progress made towards achieving gender parity while recognizing the need for more work to be done to promote equal opportunities regardless of one’s sex.

The theme for this year’s event, “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society,” aims to challenge gender bias and inequality in communities and embrace gender equality so that everyone is included in society. The CMC community fully supported the event and pledged to continue promoting gender equality and inclusion.
